Protests escalated into violent clashes with heavily armed police using tear gas and batons, marking one of China’s most significant public order challenges in recent months. Pucheng authorities in a 5 Jan statement said a student surnamed Dang died at the campus of Pucheng County Vocational Education Center after falling from a building. In the afternoon, after repeated requests, Dang’s mother was finally permitted to view her son’s body at the funeral home but prevented from checking the child’s corpse for any traumatic injuries, and were told the school’s surveillance system was damaged after demanding to see security footage, the group reported. Weinan’s public security bureau did not immediately respond to a request by Reuters to confirm whether the protest was related to the details mentioned by Human Rights In China.
